Resistance
In a purely capacitive circuit the alternating voltage ...........
leads the current by 90 degrees
lags the voltage by 90 degrees
leads the voltage by 90 degrees
lags the current by 90 degrees
For capacitors in AC circuits the instantaneous current is at its minimum or zero whenever the applied voltage is at its maximum
True
False
Capacitive Reactance in a purely capacitive circuit is the opposition to current flow in DC circuits.
True
False
Like resistance, reactance is also measured in Ohm’s but is given the symbol X to distinguish it from a purely resistive value.
True
False
The magnetism produced around the conductor is proportional to the amount of current flowing in the conductor.
False
False, as it also depends on the length of the conductor
True
The building and collapsing magnetic field causes current to be induced back into the coil by what is called
back EMF
inductance
magnetism
inductive reactance
In a purely inductive circuit the applied voltage reaches its maximum positive value ..........
a 1/4 cycle after the current reaches its maximum positive value
a 1/2 cycle after the current reaches its maximum positive value
